Points for Parents.
"Study tiie child and discover where
his greatest interest lies," says Mrs.
Theodore W. Birney, Honorary Presi
dent of the National Congress of
Mothers, discussing the "Choice of Oc
cupation," in the September Delinea
tor. Mrs. Birney very warmly advo
cates a kind of natural selection
' which is indicated in the trend of the
child's play. It is suggested, and
with reason, that a child's toys and
favorite pursuits are a sure index to
its vocation. The plan is founded on
child-study, and, as the author says.
"If parents gave to the careful study
of. their children one-half the earnest
thought that they bestow upon mat
ters of minor importance, we should
seo far fewer 'round pegs in ?guare
holest and vice versa."
Odds and Ends.
British soldiers are provided with

by filtration or by heat, after which
it is distributed to the troops by
means pf water carts reserved for
"safe" water only.

Latest Reports Indical
Captured Russ
SO RUMORED IN ST. PETERSBURG I
General Belief, Borne out by the Lat
est Dispatches, that the Situation
is Desperae-Japanese Concentrat
ing all their Energies Toward the
Reduction of the Fortress.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg at
5:15 Monday morning says: .
"Aside from the official reports of
the Ryeshitelni affair and the flood
of belated telegrams from Liao Yang
and Anshanshan, no actual news from
the fronth as been received.
There is a persistent rumor that
Port Arthur has fallen, but it cannot
be confirmed.
There is no additional news regard
ing the whereabouts of the vessels of
the Port Arthur squadron, save that
contained in foreign telegrams.
There Is a general belief, which is
borne out by the latest dispatches,
that the situation at Port Arthur is a
desperate one. Apparenly the Japan
ese are concentrating all their ener
gies towards the reduction of the for
tress In order to release heavy re
enforcements for the operations
against General Kuropatkin, and it is
thought that until this has been ac
complished the advance on Liao Yang
will be suspended.
Tokio, By Cable.-Vice Admiral
Kamimura encountered the Russian
Vladivostock squadron at dawn Sun
day, north of Tsu Island, in the Strait
bf Koprea, and attacked the enemy
at once. The battle lasted for five
hours and resulted in a complete Jap
anese victory. The Russian cruiser
Rurik was sunk and the cruisers Ros
sia and Gromoboi fled to tba north
ward after having sustained serious
damage.
Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy
Department that the Injuries Inflicted
upon his vessels were slight.
The fate of the crew of the Rurik
is not known. It is presumed that
many of them were killed or drowned.
The strength of the fleet under Ad
miral Kamimura is not known, but
lt is presumed that he had the Adsu
ma, Idsumo, Iwate, Takashiho and
other light cruisers.
Tokio ls joyous over the news, as it
gives Japan mastery of the Bea and
restores commerce.
Flags are 'flying, lanterns are glim
mering and cries of "Banzai!" are
ringing in the streets of Tokio in hon
or of the victories gained at sea by
Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kam
imura.
Underneath the jollity of the popu
lace lies a feeling of deep satisfac
tion and gratification at the disposal
of a desperately serious problem of
the war. The Russian squadron
which confronted Admiral Togo re
fused battle. It was stronger than
Admiral Togo's squadron in battle
ships and armored cruisers, and had
it elected to fight, the result might
have altered the fortunes of war.
The strength of the squadron which
confronted Admiral Togo compelled
him to draw vessels from the squac
ron under Vice Admiral Kamimura,
and this left the Japanese "navy pow
erless to operate against the Russian
Vladivostock squadron and unable to
prevent the raids of these vessels.
The raid conducted by the Vladl

MAY BE LOST
te That Japanese Have
ian Stronghold
vostock squadron in July was ex
tremely expensive to the Japanese,
and not only was retailiation tempt
ing, but it was demanded by commer
cial interests. The navy, however,
grimly refused to make a diversion
and stuck to Port Arthur. It was
-w^^ucnt that the harbor soon would
be untenable for the Russian war
ships, that it would eventually get a
fair fight in the open sea away from
the Russian land batteries, and that
the Japanese would win. These cal
culations of the navy were correct,
and the Russians, with the chances
even, have been hopelessly defeated.
Vice Admiral Kamlmura, after
months of weary and patient waiting,
finally got his chance at dawn today
off Tsu Island. He sunk the Russian
cruiser Rurik and sent the. cruisers
Gromoboi and Rossia fleeing back
from the fight.
Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur, and in view of
this fact it would seem to be impos
sible again to make seaworthy or
fightable the Russian battleships
which have returned to Port Arthur.
It is probable that the Russian battle
ship Czarevitch will disarm at Tsing
chou.
. The best possible naval force the
Russians can now concentrate at
Vladivostock is four cruisers.
In the fight of August 10 the squad
ron, under Admiral Togo, was prac
tically uninjured. The battleship Mi
kasha suffered the most, but she con
tinues on the fighting line,
The cruisers Yakumo, Misshini and
Kaugo were hit, but repairs have al
ready been made. Eleven wounded
officers and G 6 wounded men arrived
at Sasebo Sunday.
The steamer Gaelic, bound for
Shanghai, at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, sighted a Russian cruiser,
evidently the N?vik, steering south
east by east. This course showed her
to be heading for Van Diemen Strait.
Van Diemen Strait is about 120
mlies south of Nagasaki.an0. it would
be presumed from the Novtk's going
in this direction that she proposes to
try and reach Vladivostock by the
east coast of Japan.

Miss M. Cartledge gives some
helpful advice io young girls.
Her letter is but one of thou
sands which prove that nothing
is so helpful to young girls who
are just arriving at the period of
womanhood as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR MRS. PIXKHAM:-I cannot
praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound too highly, for it
is thc only medicine I ever tried which
cured me. I suffered much from my
first menstrual period, I felt so weale
and dizzj' at times 1 could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, 1 had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spoils, also pains in tho back and lower
limbs. In fact, I was sick all over.
V Finally, after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and I am pleased to say
that after talcing it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in a short time I was in
perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of
life, and found' all work a pastime. I
ara indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, for it made a dif
ferent girl o7 me. Yours very truly,
